A driver changes shoes in his van outside a closed section of the former Smithfield meat market that is awaiting future redevelopment, on 20th November 2019, at Smithfield in the City of London, England. In March 2015, the Museum of London revealed plans to vacate its Barbican site and move into the General Market Building. The cost of the move is estimated to be in the region of £70 million and, if funding can be achieved, would be complete by 2021. There has been a market on this location since the Bartholomew Fair was established in 1133 by Augustinian friars.
